2 computers, 1 printer

I was looking for a splitter cable to hook up my printer to 2 computers. No one has anything local and I did look online. Hard to figure out though, most splitters were for video or audio or power.
I need one with the male plug in ftg and2 female plug in ftgs.
There is a usb on the other side but the ftgs for the printer is specific, a little u-shape thingy?
Anyone have any info or links.

Get a router and set up a home network. Easy to do, routers now-a-days are almost PNP. Many very economical printers can be set up as network on an ethernet cable. Then each computer is secure, each computer can reach the internet, and each computer can print.

Personally; I had a hacker type living next door years ago... got rid of all the wireless stuff and went all hardwired (LAN). Works well for me.

Because I am idiot I guess.
Anyway, I just set up my new computer as wi fi and hooked the old one up with the usb cable since it is not on the network, I don't use it much at all. Just kept it for old records and some things.
They both work now, I had to rerun the software for the Kodak printer and select the option for wireless, thats all.
Thanks for the input on it, I just had to sit down and figure it out is all.
By the way I have that newer Kodak 6150 all in one printer, fax, scanner.
Its the one with the cheap ink cartridges, great product.
